[quote=Anonymous]My DC is in HS and committed to swim D1. I didn't let them go to NCSAs when they were in elementary/ MS and I regret that decision. I was worried about missing school and didn't understand how hard it is to make the cuts. My DC swam in Junior Nationals a few weeks ago, but definitely needed some of these big meets to be ready for that event and to make the cuts. Missing school has taught my DC how to time manage, talk to teachers directly about assignments, use the most of the down time during these meet events -- all skills they will need in college. They have maintained a 4.0 unweighted GPA. I always let the school know ahead of time and tell the truth. What are you teaching your kids if you are lying about missing school?[/quote]
